Re: my divorce will be final in June

[Guest guest]

Hey Francisco,

I am publicly declaring here that I totally respect you and your

emotional honesty and integrity! I am in awe of the way you aren't even

lying to yourself about your feelings, let alone sharing them with us.

Yeah, it will be sad to see Zach again, and that's okay. I guess the

closest comparison I can draw from my own life is when I remember my

previous husband, who died of sleep apnea more than ten years ago. There

are times when remembering him still makes me sad, and that's okay. When

someone has been that big a part of your life for that long, it's okay

to mourn the loss. Hell, I'd even go so far as to say it is NOT okay to

let yourself feel the loss. Doesn't mean that going on with your life

wasn't the right thing to do, because I absolutely believe it was. It

just hurts sometimes, as you know.

I know, I'm not saying anything you didn't already know, but I'm saying

it anyway. I just hope you hear the caring behind what I'm saying. Keep

being you, and thank you for letting us see your heart.

BTW, dare I ask (I dare, I dare, even though you don't have to answer if

it's invading your boundaries) about your new email address?

Francisco Many need to find the balance, because life does get hard and food won't fix it. We must go on and keep our love for ourself and our boundaries and happiness will be there. You take care.

Thanks Eleanor! I hear your caring. And I agree. It's necessary to

feel our feelings and not turn to food to stuff them down. The email

address is manisodream@....

I'm glad you can hear the caring! I got the email address, was just

curious about the meaning. " Man, I so dream? " I know, I'm nosy!
